Design and Development of IoT-based Robot

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is the term used to denote the act of connecting different systems so that they may work in tandem with each other, sharing data and process variables. There is an ongoing revolution in the overall industrial environment, which is often referred to as the fourth Industrial Revolution or as `Industry 4.0'. It has taken the world by storm, affecting not only the manufacturing industries but also the technology industries. Industry 4.0 is an umbrella for the application of Networking and connectivity to the manufacturing environment. Internet of Things has tremendous influence over human life and Industry 4.0, on the other hand is helping humans with the help of advanced robots. Integration of Robotics in Manufacturing will lead to a giant leap in output and worker satisfaction. The current work emphasizes the application of IoT in the design of a prototype Robot model, developed by additive manufacturing.
